| Day 1 - Day 01 : Solang Valley / Manali - Chandratal Lake : Post breakfst drive past Rohtang pass enjoying the magnificient views of the changing mountain landscape to arrive at Batal.From Batal you can have a beautiful view of the CB ranges and a few glaciers. From here a track goes to the beautiful lake of Chandratal 14 Kms away.
Chandratal Lake , also known as ‘Moon Lake’ is one of the most beautiful & spectacular lakes in the Indian subcontinent. Set on a large meadow between lower ridge and main Kunzum range , it offers excellent view of Mulkila mountain range and Samudra Tapu Glacier. The color of water keeps changing through out the day from reddish to orange to blue to emerald green as day passes. What do you say about a place that can take away 6 hours of fatiguing drive and dust in an instant? About a haloed patch of mystifying water body that exudes the stillness of the deepest shades of sapphire blending with the exuberance of jade green right in the middle of thousands of miles of parched brown and foreboding gray landscape? A place that transfixes you with its first sight and continues to haunt you long after, sending your adrenalin rushing for a yet second look? Breathtaking, awe-inspiring, beautiful, fabulous, overwhelming… all sound too prosaic. Maybe ‘chandratal-ed’ would be an apt expression about what one feels at the very first glance of Chandratal and rightly so.Day at leisure to explore the picture perfect environs of the Chandratal Lake Camp Retreat.Dinner & overnight at the Cahandratal Lake Camp Retreat.

| - Tabo was simply uplifting - a sight seen to be believed , I personally liked the drive & the combination of Chandratal Lake with Spiti valley is a great idea of a complete offbeat tour! Well done, Manish & his team at The Camp People to make it as comfortable & enjoyable to us...
